ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of laparoscopic tube sparing operation in the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy. Methods Clinical data of 56 cases of tubal pregnancy undergoing laparoscopic conservative treatment were retrospectively reviewed. Results Salpingectomy was required in 8 cases because the electrocoagulation had proven ineffective for the bleeding of operated area, whereas the tube sparing surgery was accomplished successfully in the remaining 48 cases, in 3 of which one treatment course of MTX was administered on account of recurrent episodes. Hysterosalpingography with iodized oil at 1~2 postoperative months in 47 cases receiving conservative surgical treatment revealed that, the involved oviduct was patent in 36 cases, unobstructed but not patent in 8 cases, and obstructed in 3 cases, while the contralateral oviduct (which had been previously resected in 3 cases) was patent in 34 cases, unobstructed but not patent in 7, and obstructed in 3. Conclusions Under proper conditions, laparoscopic tube sparing operation is effective in the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy.
